6ELOO45The ignition system is a two-coil ignition system that
supplies sufficient energy for ignition up to high
speeds. This engine does not have a distributor
since the engine control unit directly activates the
power transistor for ignition timing control.
The functions and controls of the engine control unit
and various sensors that control the ignition timing
are described in the next chapter, IGNITION CON-
TROL SYSTEM.
This ignition system has two power transistors and
two ignition coils. Power transistor “A” controls the
primary current of ignition coil “A” to activate thespark plugs of the
No.1 and No.4 cylinders.
Similarly, power transistor
“B” controls ignition coil
“B” which activates the spark plugs of the
No.2 and
No.3 cylinders. In this way, spark plugs of two
cylinders are activated but actual ignition takes placeonly in the single cylinder that is on its compression
stroke, because the other is on its exhaust stroke at
that time.
Power transistors “A” and “B” are activated by
signals from the engine control unit, that controls
which cylinder is fired at what time.

6ELOO66The above block diagram shows the
fljnctions of the
engine control unit for ignition timing control.
One feature is that the engine control unit provides
ignition power distribution control which is neces-
sary because this engine is without a distributor, as
has been described earlier. By activating two power
transistors alternately, the primary current of two
ignition coils, one for the No. 1 and No.4 cylinders
and one for the No. 2 and No, 3 cylinders is turned onand
off. thus causing the cylinders to fire in the
order of 1, 3, 4, 2.
For ignition timing control, -optimum ignition timing.^--_
_. -.is determined by making preset corrections which
has been for engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature an& other conditions of the ignition
advance angle that has been preset according to the
engine operating conditions. For vehicles with
tur=_.bocharger have a knocking control that corrects tl
ignition advance angle according to the presence or
absence of knocking.
The engine control unit also controls the primary
current energization time in order to secure stable
ignition energy.
These controls are explained in detail below.

6EL0066The engine control unit has the ignition advance
angle value for all cylinder stroke intake air volumes
(engine load) and engine speeds stored in its
memory; this is called the basic ignition advance
angle. The control unit makes corrections in this
value according to the engine operating conditions
such as the engine coolant temperature, barometric
pressure (altitude) and intake air temperature to
obtain optimum advance angle for current engine
conditions. At the engine start and during ignition
timing adjustment, however, it is set to preset fixed
timing.
(1) WHILE CRANKING
When cranking, the ignition advance angle is fixed at
5”BTDC in synchronization with the crank angle
signal.(2) DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Basic ignition advance angle:
Map values that have been preset for all cylinder
stroke intake air volumes (engine load) and engine
speeds.Engine coolant temperature correction:
The engine coolant temperature sensor detects the
engine coolant temperature and when it is low, the
-ignition timing is advanced to improve driveability.
Barometric pressure correction:
The barometric pressure sensor detects the
barometric pressure and determines the altitude.
When the pressure is low (i.e. when the vehicle is at
a high altitude), the ignition timing is advanced to
secure maximum driveability.
intake air temperature correction:
The intake air temperature sensor detects the intake
air temperature and when it is low, the ignition
timing is delayed to prevent knocking in cold
weather. When it is high, the timing is also delayed
to prevent of knocking.
(3) DURING ADJUSTMENT OF IGNITION TIMING
When the terminal for ignition timing and idle speed
adjustment is shorted to ground, the ignition timing
is set at
5”BTDC in synchronization with the crank
angle signal, If the ignition timing does not agree
with the reference ignition timing of 5’BTDC, turn
the crank angle sensor to adjust the timing so that
the crank angle signal agrees with the reference
ignition timing. When the engine speed is approx-
imately 1,200 rpm or higher, however, the timing
advance is according to normal operation and
therefore this ignition timing adjustment is not
available.

6FUO565Engine knocking is detected and the ignition timing
is controlled accordingly to prevent continued
knocking and to protect the engine.
When knocking is detected, the engine control unit
delays the ignition timing according to the signal
from the detonation sensor until the knocking is
eliminated (up to a maximum 12” in crank angle). In
the case of an open or short circuit of the detonationsensor harness. the timing is delayed by a fixed
angle (approximately 8” in crank angle) to prevent
knocking.Energization Time Control
While
crankinaIf knocking continues, the advance angle map value
is corrected gradually in the delay direction.
In the absence of knocking, the map value is
corrected gradually in the advance direction. In this
way, optimum ignition timing is constantly control-
led; this control is effective even when fuels of
different octane ratings are used.
This means that the engine is protected from
knocking damage even when the fuel is switched
from premium to regular or vice versa.

IIn order to obtain stable ignition energy, the
ener-gization time of the ignition coil primary current is
controlled as to keep current at a constant value
when the primary current is shut off.
(1) DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Basic energization time
:The increase of the ignition coil primary current
changes with the battery voltage. Therefore, the
energization time is so controlled that the primary
current at time of ignition becomes
6A. The basic
energization time is so set that it is longer when the
battery voltage is low and is shorter when the
6FUO548Energization time clip:
The new two-coil ignition system has its ignition
interval doubled when compared to the convention-
al single
coil type, allowing a longer clip time. As a
result, a long energization time is secured for
sufficient ignition energy even during high speed
operation.
(2) WHILE CRANKING
When cranking, the ignition coil is energized in
synchronization with the crank angle signal.
